Natasha Birt
Head Nurse (RVN)
Natasha Birt
My greatest passion is working with and helping animals. Even as a child growing up in rural Texas I used to always have animals, bring home injured wildlife or used to sneak on to my neighbour's farm to play with their animals. I have been vet nursing for over 20 years and I have been at Kingsley Vet since 2006. I have a Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing and an Associates Degree in Biology and am a Registered Veterinary Nurse. I have a special interest in Laboratory work and Pathology. At home, I have a husband and three furry children: cats by the name of Kira, Ginger, and Asha. Outside of animals, my interests include sewing and my work with a Star Wars Charity.

Jessica Jenkins
I have always enjoyed working with animals and started volunteering/working at vets when I was 14. That means I have been nursing for half my life and have been part of Kingsley Vet since 2003. I have a Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing and am a Registered Veterinary Nurse. At home I have a menagerie of animals of just about every species: dogs, cats, rabbits, birds and fish and have kept ferrets, guinea pigs and rats in the past. In my spare time, I like to spend time with my husband, son and our two boxers.

Ashleigh Cross
I am a veterinary nurse at Kingsley Vet and I also do the dog baths on Saturday mornings. I have had a love and passion for animals from a very young age. My pets at home include 2 dogs and fish (I would have a horse in my backyard if I could). I have been volunteering in the equine industry for over 10 years and have done work experience at an equine vet and breeding centre. Coming to Kingsley Vet was a big downsize! I love the medical side, and I have gained so much knowledge and experience in the 8 years of being at Kingsley Vet.

Priscilla
Animal Care Taker
Priscilla (aka Bad Cat) - The Queen Of The Hospital
She is a cat with an attitude. Priscilla turned up one day in the Kingsley Shopping Centre carpark, and as we were concerned for her safety wandering around the carpark, we took her in, and she has been a permanent resident at our hospital ever since. She has a constant battle with her weight and is on a perpetual diet. At almost any time of the day, she can be found curled up in her favourite basket in our office, keeping an eye on things.
Likes - food, bossing people and animals around, sitting on top of paperwork, giving you a "swipe" when it is least expected and going on Christmas Leave with her favourite boys.
Dislikes - diets, dogs and small children
